The history was pretty simple. When we had a file called /etc/foo,
which we later to split into a directory full of individual one-entry-
per-file records rather than the previous "all records in a single
file", we would rename /etc/foo to /etc/foo.d to denote the switch.
Don't forget, /etc/rc used to be a single file...

Does anyone know the history behind the ".d" naming convention on
some directories?
For example, /etc/rc.d or ${prefix}/etc/bash_completion.d. I seem to
understand how these directories are used, but what does the ".d"
mean?
